ANOTHER crappy defender? Who doesn't like to pass? "Zach Lavine without hops"? You can get the real Zach Lavine AND a first round pick from Chicago any time you want. Of course, he wouldn't be on a two-way contract...
first option: Jody wants a G-League championship. Cronin is trying to load the Remix with ballers. 2nd option: early prep for the massive tank battle after Christmas. If Cronin can properly bounce Bryce between G-League and NBA, it could mess up game flow and team chemistry. Strategical impact on the Loss column can be manipulated by wonky management. example: Cronin makes a late night call, and has Bryce to fly to catch Portland on the 3rd game of a long road trip. Bryce gets to the Raptors stadium 2 hours before tip-off. Chauncey gives him a jersey and a basketball, and empowers him to play 20m of jetlag NBA action. After a couple more important losses, with stronger teams on the schedule... Bryce can return to the Remix and try to get his G-League groove back.
I don't see the point unless one of Scoot/Simons/Baton doesn't return. Could this be any sort of indicator we may move Simons?
I love having our own G league team and 3 2 way contracts to rotate in and out of the Remix with our 14 and 15th players under contract. Our scouts have done a really good job finding these guys to take a look at. Duop worked out pretty well
Why not give him a run for a few mins a game. See if he can come in off the bench and down bucket or two. See if his 3pt shooting is better.
Can't wait until this guy gets a chance to play some NBA minutes. He's done everything anyone could hope for from him in the G-league. It's time to get him some senior squad time.
